Lu orange was originally a kind of orange, named after its black color (Lu refers to black), but it refers to loquat in Su Shi's poems. Loquat ripens in March and April, while Myrica rubra ripens in May and June, which happens to be the "second night" in the seasonal order. Citrus fruits will mature in autumn, which is not in line with the meaning of the poem.
This poem comes from Su Shi's "A Unique Huizhou" in the Song Dynasty, which means that the next four seasons in Luofu Mountain are spring, and loquat and Huangmei are fresh every day. This sentence is full of vitality and natural beauty, expressing the poet's love for Lingnan scenery.
Luofu Mountain, also known as Dongqiao Mountain, is located in the northwest of Boluo County, Guangdong Province, bordering Zengcheng County and Longmen County. Located near Daya Bay in the South China Sea and adjacent to Huizhou West Lake, Luofu Mountain is the first mountain in Lingnan with mild climate and beautiful scenery. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu Yi's Jue Zaji said that "loquat is an orange beyond the ridge".
Lu gan: alias loquat, Lu Zhi and jinwan. Loquat's English loquat comes from the Cantonese transliteration of Lu Ju. Loquat is native to the southeast of China. Named after its leaves are like pipa instruments. Its fruit is covered with fluff and its skin is orange when it matures. Can be divided into white sand and red sand. White sand is small and sweet, and red sand is big and sour.
The background of Huizhou's unique creation;
Shao Sheng wrote Huizhou for three years (1096). There are two songs under this topic. Choose the second one here. Lingnan and Guangdong were wild places in the Song Dynasty, and most guilty ministers were exiled here.
Here, moving guests to demote officials often leads to many lamentations, but Dongpo is not. In this poem, he shows his consistent optimistic, broad-minded and carefree spirit, and also expresses his love for Lingnan scenery.
Su Dongpo was accused of "belittling the court" and was demoted to Lingnan in the first year of Song Zhezong's Shaosheng, and was "forbidden to sign books for business". As a result, Mr. Dongpo lingered in the mountains and rivers, observed the mountains and rivers, and had a deep love for Lingnan. Even litchi, which is very common in Lingnan, is so persistent.
